西元前约1150～西元前约1050年

古代以色列的女先知和政治领袖。在《旧约．士师记》（Book of
Judges）中记载了她的事迹。据载，底波拉和她的将军巴拉克（Barak）打败了西西拉（Sisera）所率的迦南人军队。当时以色列人在她的鼓舞下团结一致，突然发生的大雷雨让以色列人认为是上帝从西奈山（Mount
Sinai）降临，因而帮助他们打败了迦南人。《底波拉之歌》（Song of Deborah 〔Judges
5〕）就是庆祝此事，据考证是她所作，可能是圣经（Bible）中最古老的章节，对了解西元前12世纪以色列人的文化有重要意义。

 Prophetess and political leader of ancient Israel. Her
story is told in the Old Testament's Book of Judges. With her general, Barak,
she is credited with defeating the Canaanite armies led by Sisera. The Israelite
victory over the Canaanites, which was aided by a thunderstorm that Israel saw
as the coming of God from Mount Sinai, was celebrated in the Song of Deborah
(Judges 5), possibly the earliest portion of the Bible.
